if such thing is possible than the other two
poems. Many heart will be touched and
many an eye dimmed as we follow these ten
der lines through Memory's wildwood. The
following is the poem referred to:
-
LIFE LEAVES.
The day, with its sandals dipped in dew,
Has passed through the evenings golden
gates,
And single star in the cloudless blue
For the rising moon in silence waits;
While the Winds that sigh to the languid
hours
A lullaby breathe DER the folded flowers.
The lilies nod to the sound of the stream
That winds along with a lulling flow,
And either awake or half in a dream
pass through the realms of long ago;
While faces peer with many smile
From the bowers of Memory's magical isle.
There are joys and sunshine sorrows and
tears,
That check the paths of lifes April hours,
And a longing wish for the coming years,
That hope ever wreathes with the fairest
flowers;
There are friendships guileless-love as bright
And pure as the stars in the halls of night.
There are ashen memories, bitter pain,
And buried hopes and a broken vow,
And an aching heart by the restless main,
And the sea breeze tanning pallid brow,
And a wanderer on the shel-lined shore.
Listening for voices that speak no more.
There are passions strong and ambitions wild,
And the fierce desire to stand in the van
Of the battle of life-and the heart of the
child
Is crushed in the breast of the struggling
But short the regrets and few are the tears
That fall at the tomb of the vanquiShed
years.
There's quiet, and peace, and domestic love,
And joys arising from faith and truth,
And love unquestionlng, far aboye
The passionate dreamings of ardent youth;
| And kisses of children on lip and cheek,
And the parents bliss which no tongue can
speak.
There are loved ones lost! There are little
graves
In the distant dell, meath protecting trees,
Where the streamlet winds and the violet
waves,
And the grasses sway to the signing breeze;
And we mourn for the pressure of tender lips
And the light of eyes darkened in deaths
eclipse.
And thus as the glow of the daylight dies,
And the nights first look to the earth is cast,
gaze meath those beautiful summer skies
At the pictures that hang in the hall of the
past;
oh, Sorrow and Joy chant mingled lay
When to Memory's wildwood we wander
The Chicago preachers will take notice that
their st. Paul brethren are praying for them.
There is still hope of redemption, The dying
thief was perdoned on the cross, and the
poor, miserable, uncharitable men who re-
fused to condole with Mrs. BEECIER when
| her husband was dying may yet find forgive
ness. 'While the lamp holds out to burn the
vilest sinner may return
